Flat Earth

I saw a t-shirt from Northern Sun that said: “If the earth was flat, cats would have pushed everything off by now.”

Now, I don’t want to denigrate the flat earthers (at least not out loud, because, say it with me, SCIENCE), but what if the truth is that cats — some of which sleep upwards of 22 hours a day — through their collective cat meditation capabilities, are actually keeping the earth in its gravitational tour around the sun by the power of their intention. Cats sleep or the earth gets dropped out of its rotation like a hot potato.

Okay, that’s not science at all, but it seems like the likelier scenario for this cunning duo.

Not really sure where all your anger is coming from, but this is the last response I’m going to give you, just sayin’. If you look into space, all the other planets are spheres. Why would Earth be the only planet that’s flat? I’m not a scientist, so I can’t talk about the nitty gritty science with any kind of gravitas, but here’s a link for you: http://embracetheball.blogspot.com/p/flat-earth-tests.html Respectfully, have fun with your theories; I choose to believe the science. Thanks for stopping by.

I’m not sure what you mean when you say I haven’t looked into it at all, but I did take plenty of science classes all through school, at least until I went to law school, and I’m pretty sure Copernicus, Galileo, and by extension, Einstein, Neils Bohr and the rest have it right, unlike the guy who shot himself into the atmosphere in a homemade rocket and almost killed himself trying to prove the flat earth theory. But who am I to deny you of your opinion or even try to convince you otherwise. That’s the beauty of living in a democracy. You get to think what you want. :0)

Oh yes, I am a new subscriber, but so enjoyed this post. Being the mom of two cats and six Chihuahuas, 2 goldfish and two alien catfish, I can certainly appreciate the truth in this – we have already experienced being pushed out of our bed, and we also have to share all our pillows and blankets. The only positive bout it is that they make great heaters.

Yes, I love it! I will have to think on that a bit. And good morning to Sir Bash. Perhaps he will be the protagonist of the story. A king of sorts among the cats and dogs who work to keep the gravitational force up to snuff. We may need to talk to see if he’s up for the job. Does he like to write? Perhaps we’ll collaborate. :0) oxo

Adorable kitties and doggie! The cat that has adopted me would love to spend all her time sleeping or kneading on my lap forever! I’ve never known a cat that wanted so much togetherness. But when she stares at me I do wonder what’s going on plotting wise in that head of hers.

“but what if the truth is that cats — some of which sleep upwards of 22 hours a day — through their collective cat meditation capabilities, are actually keeping the earth in its gravitational tour around the sun by the power of their intention.

Pam, I predict that scientists are going to pick up on this idea, and that ultimately you will be proven right!

I’m with you; cats aren’t the plaything of movie baddies without reason… they’re plotting. I know Douglas Adams told us the mice had organised the creation of Earth to determine the ultimate question but I think the cats set up the mice through a combination of hallucinogenic cheese and hypnosis to posit the question while they were off scouting out new lap-worlds that they could overthrow with their dastardly purr-cuteness combos.

Cunning is the first word that comes to mind. The one on the left disrupts my sleep every night by muscling in on my pillow and purring for hours while he sleeps on, near, or as close as he can to me. It’s like wearing a cat hat 🎩 that purrs.
